MERAKI MX84 CLOUD MANAGED SECURITY APPLIANCE

Description

Cisco Meraki Security Appliances can be remotely deployed in minutes using zero-touch cloud provisioning. Security settings are simple to synchronize across thousands of sites using templates. Auto VPN technology securely connects branches in 3 clicks, through an intuitive, web-based dashboard.

The Meraki MX84 is an enterprise security appliance designed for distributed deployments that require remote administration. It is ideal for network administrators who demand both ease of deployment and a state-of-the-art feature set. This security appliance provides the following new features:

• USB port, to support approved 3G/4G cards for failover to cellular networks.
• Support for eight configurable GbE (RJ45) connections.
• Two GbE SFP connections (requires optional Meraki SFP-1GB-SX transceiver).
• Dedicated management port.
• Front-panel rack mounts.

Every Meraki Security Appliance supports several features, like a stateful firewall and integrated Sourcefire intrusion prevention (IPS) engine, to keep networks secure. Threat definitions and filter lists are seamlessly updated, ensuring every site has bleeding-edge protection from the latest vulnerabilities and troublesome websites.

Built-in SD-WAN

Software-defined WAN capabilities in every security appliance reduce operational costs and improve resource usage for multi-site deployments, allowing network administrators to use available bandwidth more efficiently and ensure the highest possible level of performance for critical applications without sacrificing security or data privacy.

Fault Tolerance

Redundancy is built in to Meraki Security Appliances: from dual WAN and cellular uplinks to maintain connection to the Internet, to warm spare failover that ensures service integrity, to self-healing site-to-site VPN that keeps branches and public cloud IT services securely connected.

Intuitive Centralized Management

The Meraki dashboard enables network administrators to view networked clients, bandwidth consumption, and application usage across all sites—and push policies to block, shape, or whitelist activity to optimize performance and user experience. Deep visibility and control provides real insight from any Internet-accessible device, anytime, anywhere.
